THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.15, No.51, Two Days' Pastors and Workers' Conference, and Training Institute New Hope Baptist and Macedonia Baptist With Pastors, Gardner and Scobey, Royally Entertained. Scobey, Royally Entertained. Moderator, Rev. J. T. Elias, Presiding Wednesday morning, February 27, marked a starting of a new day for the Kansas Baptist, when Dr. A. W. Ross, opened his first Pastors and Workers' Conference at New Hope Baptist Church, Parsons, Kansas. The devotionals led by Rev. J. S. King and A. W. Ross were filled with fire. The first subject: "Loyalty to Our Denomination, To Its Doctrines as Directed in the Bible" by Rev. Chas. Teal, Independence, was sound in its logic and founded on the Word of God, Dr. A. W. Ross stressed the vital points by questions that would make plain the foundation for our faith. Dr. I. D. Skinner, seasoned giant of God's Word also endorsed Rev. Teal's address and advanced many other facts about the Scripture being our only rule and practice. "Loyalty to Our Denomination as Seen In our Literature" by Editor H. T. Sims, Wichita, He brought many convincing facts, why we should use and be loyal to our Denominational Literature. Dr. A. W. Ross clinched the facts and began plans for publication committee for each district, which shall also be in each church. Opened with devotionals conducted by Sistes Millie Anderson of Coffeyville and Tessie Wheaton and Clara Daniel. "Loyalty to Our Denomination to its Program in the Local Church" by Revs. A. J. Gardner, Parson, and C. E. Woods, Arkansas City. The speak is made plain the value of the Link not being broken in Local Church and that the whible thing depends on the home basis and pastors are responsible. "Loyalty to Our Denomination, to Its Program In District Association," by Revs. J. T. Ellias, Pittsburg, and E. S. Scooby, Parson. They ed that the pastors, who fail are the ones who are afraid to put forth the work of the District Association. They (pastors) should not let deacons hinder the cause, "Loyalty to Our Denomination, to its Program In Woman's Home and Foreign, Mission Convention," by Sisters Mary Dial, Chetopa, Bertha Hudson, Coffeyville and Tesie Wheaton, Cherryvale. They were thoughtful and impressive as to mission being the heart of the Gospel. Devotismals were conducted by Rev. T. E. Pierce, Oswego and J. S. King. It was spiritual. Rev. A. L. Gardner in very choice words introduced Dr. A. W. Ress, our State Executive Secretary, who laid the cause on our hearts. A great sermon was preached "On Stewardship" by Rev. J. T. Elias, Pittsburg. Sister Ida Frazier Bates made a shirt, but impressive talk. THURSDAY—Morning Session. HOSKEN—MORMON SENIOR. Opening devotionals, were conducted by Rev. C. A. Hall, Pittsburg and Brig. S. S. Hester, Pittsburg. "Loyalty to Our Denomination, to Its Program, How to Co-operate" by Sister Ida P. Bates, Wichita. Among the many things she said was: First loyalty to the Denomination, value must be beyond self. We must be practical to sustain the Kingdom. We must render service according to the dictation of our conscience. Co-operation is largely an individual matter. Self-interest must be laid aside. We should be willing to take orders from our leaders. The objectives must be clearly defined before we can act in co-operation. We must take time to agitate and perseude. Our Secretary is proceeding in the right direction. All must pull in line and together. Sisters Clara Daniels, Mary Dial and Rev. P. D. Skinner responded, stressing many points given by Sister Bates "Loyalty to Our Denomination, to Its Program. In the Sunday School" by Sister. Nellie Robertson, Cherryville. She said, in part: Ask yourself, am I a loyal Baptist. Our hearts must be broad enough to get in the way to be used. We lay aside for a hat or dress but we will not lay aside for the church. Each must fill his own place. Rev. A. L. Gardner, put the cap-stone of reasoning on this subject by stressing the following points: Only effective way is when we put what we saw in practice. The Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. and Woman's Work must be under the church. In the response by Rev. P. D. Skinner, he proved that we will never get together unless we get the leaders together. Rev. Woods of Arkansas City, thinks: the church should raise all money and auxiliaries of institutional work. "Loyalty to Our Denomination, to Its Program. In the B. Y. P. U.," by Bry. S. S. Hester. He showed how the Unions fit THE CONFLICT OF GOOD AND EVIL. BY OPHETTA NEELY By Faith we understand that the world was framed by the Word of God. Even when God cast Satan out of the great above, infinite wisdom did not destroy him; the Great Jehovah is too good to be unjust. He is too wise to make a mistake, too loving to be unkind and His power is always exercised in such a way that final good will surely result. Do you not know that it is evil to obey the motto: "Every one for himself and God for us all" Selfishness is one of the most detestable sins. It is an evil that is certain to destroy the people of the world, as one gotten apple is to destroy a barrel: Now remember that the end is too near at hard to be doing evil, but sanctify your soul. Do not do evil for evil but do good for evil. If your neighbor is a forsaken tramp, do not overthrow him and trample him down but help him the best way you know how. It is not your mission here to destroy a father's pride or a mother's joy; think rot that a tramp is void of heart or soul, because their names appear on heaven's roll. Remember, that ever so poor or humble a person, may be there is a room left, in his heart for Jesus.—When the great Angel Gabriel with His trumpet calls, a host of tramps may lead us all.

C. Teal, Independence, was strong on the viewpoint that a Union plays in the church and how it should be handled by the pastor. Love should be the whole law of the church. "Loyalty to Our Denomination, to Its Program, In Ministers and Deacons" Union" by Rev. J. S, King, Cherryvale. He thinks we will shoot because we do more criticizing than instructing; and we should do more training of the deaconse and church' members. Rev. Bell Star, Chetopa, thinks the ministers and deacons should be so close that one could scarcely tell the difference. Dr. A. He's made some timely remarks from a business standpoint. Afternoon Session Opened with devotionals conducted by Rev. Wm. Thomas and Bro. L. M Mickey. "A Bible on Stewardship;" by Rev. P. D. Skinner, Coffeyville. He proved that we did not own ourselves, but we are slaves of Christ: 1st, by creation; 2nd, by giving ourselves to Him. He made it plain that we are all robbers as God's stewards. Dr. Ross called a series of prayers from Rev. Bell Star, Sister Mary Dial and Bro. H. T. Sims. Dr. Ross, Revs. Brown, Thomas, and Gardner responded ably to the thoughts advanced by Dr. Skinner. Evening Session. Openlrg devotionals conducted by Sister Clara Daniel and Bro. L. Mickey; fervent prayers offered by Rev. Wm. Thomas, Bro. L.

Sermen: "Loyalty to Our Program In the United States and in the Whole World." Rev. A. W. Ross, State Missionary. He complimented the members of New Hope and pastor Gardner—"Go ye into all the world, preach the Gospel to every creature;" was his text. He said in part: We have 21 missionary pastors and they must be paid $1000 per month; 30,000 churches without pastors with 30,000 pastors untrained sitting around because we are not doing our duty for Central Bastist Theological Seminary, National Baptist Convention and Western Convention. He made our duty plain and effective and showed how we could do little things each day to preach or spread the Gospel. He closed by singing: "When the Saints Go Marching In." Rev. J. T. Elias responded with excellent thoughts. A FLYING·TRIP TO GARY, IND A FLYING·TRIP TO GARY, IND Dr. J. II. Garnett, Dean of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary, at Topkka, Kansas, was called by wire to Gary, a few days ago upon urgent business, and at the same time to see his daughter who met with a very serious accident of breaking her left foot by a fall on the ice.

LACKSTEAM WORK (The Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON, March 7.—The proposed amendments providing $500,000 for an addition to the Howard University Medical School was recently suspended by a letter written to Senator Smoot by Professor Kelly Miller, asking that the amendment be not further pressed on the ground that the House would not accede to them. The President of the University, upon learning of Prof. Miller's action in the matter, informed Senator Lenroot that the letter did not express the sentiments of the University; that the University is anxious, if possible, to secure these appropriations. Upon this representation of the situation Senator Lenroot offered the amendment, which had been abandoned because of the Miller letter, appropriating $370,000 for additions to the Medical School Building. It is clearly evident from the foregoing that Howard University lacks team work upon matters of legislation. ARE YOU AWARE? BY PROF. E. M. BARNES. That women do not demand the respect from men now as they did a few years ago? There was a time when men considered it impolite to hail and stop a lady on the streets, or to fail to raise his hat when talking or leaving her or to smoke or be loud and course in her presence; but now, any of the above can be practiced "with immunity," and remain a gentleman Women are becoming cheaper and cheaper in the days go by. The estimate that they allow men to put upon them is below par. There was a time when to become familiar with a young lady required much time on the part of the gentleman; but one meeting now is sufficient for the fellow to know her us Mary and Jane and for him to set like he has known her for years. The old saying that familiarity breeds contempt (and insults) is very true. Women who desire to be highly esteemed will think on these things. Just a thought for the ladies. Do you think it pays? Hand-out your thoughts and see them in print. Parsons News Notes. Patients now in C. T.

Y. & U., in the near future (The Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON. March 7.—Whey President Coolidge, during his New York Lincoln Day Address, proully exclaimed: "I am a Republican," he extracted the entire attention of thinking men and women throughout the country to matters of government. With him, and to them, such a statement on such an occasion had a deeper significance than a mere declaration of party affiliation. It took the form of a solemn affirmation that he stands for the highest, practical national ideals, for honorable dealings, private and public, for law and order, for the protection of life and property, for the continuation of constructive policies that have made this nation great, and for everything else that is calculated to promote, not to retard nor destroy, the general welfare of the people without regard to creed, color or race. The proudest boat of an American citizen should be, "I am a Republican," because it identifies him with the creative forces of all that in distinctively constructive, and connects him with a glorious party under whose banner our greatest national achievements have been effected.

Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) © 1984 Western Newbern Union Lesson for March 16 THE REIGN OF DAVID LESSON TEXT — 11 Sam 7 18-28, 14 15 (Read 1 Sam 16 to 11 Sam 21) GOLDEN LAY — I delight to do thy OL. OL. God — 40 8 PRIMARY TOIL-A Shepherd Boy Begins Ling JUNIOR TOPIC- David and Golith INTERMEDIATE AND SLNJOR TOPIC- David a Character Study IC-DAVID A CHRISTIAN KING YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-What David Achieved for Israel 1. Chosen King While a Shepherd Boy (I Sam 16 1 13). 1. Samuel Sant to Bethlehem (vv. 13). Samuel was directed to go to Bethlehem and from among the sons of Jesse choose a successor. God in instructed him to avoid publicity by the concealment of his real purpose. Samuel was not under obligation to tell all that he knew, especially since the parties had no moral right to know; 2. Samuel Anointed David (v. 13) Though the Lord has refused to choose one of the eldest sons of Jesse, when this stripping of a law came before Samuel, the Lord Indicated His choice. This anointing typified the endowment of the Holy Spirit which is essential for any and all service for God. 1. In the Open Fields (I Sam 16:11-13; 17:34-37). As a young man his business was to keep his father's sheep. The prevailing tendency of such an occupation would be to take things easily, but David did not fall into a life of indulence. He became such a skilled musician that he was called to play his harp before the king. He was also an expert marksman, so that he could throw a stone with such precision as to need only one throw to down the Phillips glant. Then, too, he was physically fitted, for he had been "educated in the school of the lion and the bear." 2. In the Kings' Court (I Sam, 19:2, 21:0). Here was formed that the life of friendship with Jonathan which not only was a bright spot in David's life, but lives in history as a unique affair. 3. In the Camp of the Outlaw (I Sam. 21:10; 31:13). The king had given commandment to kill David. When the truth of this was realized David fled to the king of Gath, where he feigned madness. Though David did some foolish and unbecoming things during this time he is to be commended for his self-mastery in that he would not touch the Lord's anointed. III. David Made King of Judah (II Sam. 2:1-4) Trusting God David went to Hebron, where the man of Judah anointed him king over them. Thus, a part of the nation recognized him as king and ratified the work which Samuel did years before. 1. The Dual Kingdom (II Sam 2:9; 4:12). Most of the tribes of Israel held to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, whom Abner had proclaimed king of Mabanim. Feuds continued between the rival factions David's power increased, while that of Ishbosheth wined. This period of civil war lasted seven and a half years. 2. David Crowned King of United Israel (II Sam, 5:15). Abner's death and Ishbosheth's assassination put an end to David's opposition. Besides, David's behavior during this time gradually won for him the confidence of the tribes, so that they all came to him at Hebron and anointed him as their king. They assigned as their reasons for anointing him their king: (1) He was their brother (v. 1). (2) He was their true leader in war, even in Saul's time (v. 2). (3) He was the Lord's choice (v. 2) IV. David's Worship and Prayer (II Sam. 7:19-20) 1. For God's Goodness to Him (vv. 19-22). This was shown in promising to build him a house. The content of this covenant is set forth in verses 8-10. It contains the following elements: (1) A house, or posterity (v. 13). (2) A throne—a royal authority (v. 13). (3) A kingdom (v. 13). (4) Perpetuity, that is, forever (v. 13). This was an absolute promise. Dis- chelidence on the part of David's seed would entail chastisement, but not an abrogation of the covenant. 2. For God's Goodness to the Nation (iv, 2126). No other nation in all the world had been accorded such treatment. The central thought is God's goodness centered in his redeemment of the nation from Egyptian bondage. God will do the same for all those who trust him. When you tip up, full forward and get up farther along.—The Mennonite. A Poor Business.

After Scripture reading by Déacon Jordan prayer by Bro, Austin Hayes we then listened to a very interesting and im. pressive lecture by Prof. P. G. Porter, principal of Dunbar School. subject: “Develcring a Man Squarely or the Four Phases cf Life.” Prof. Porter used as a basis for his very excellent address this portion of Scripture: “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” Luke 1:52. To develop a man squarely he must be developed intel- lectually, phy-icaily, socially and spiritually; and this can only be ace «oi taished by hard work, Christ, while here cn earth possessed the same faculties as man, and He devel. oped all four phases; Mr. Porter spoke of tae danger of over-developing any ene of these parts.

It is questionable as to whether or not it is at all times advisable to parade the many ills of a minority race to public view before a positive determined effort has been made by the power of the school, press and church to rid the race of its ills from within its own circle. WITH the Interracial Good Will Conference now passed into history it is hoped that a tangible line of action will result having as its purpose the development of many of those ordinary rights commonly accorded to citizens of a peaceful community. Above all things a blessing will have results if the leader hip of the race will be able to get together in putting over racial projects.

O Minder with their Annual Party. It was one of the most delightful social events given this season. It was a characterization part, the unique feature of which was those who protrayed it. civic and political circles. Firmer adherence of race patronage to colored commercial interprizes. These are and ought to be the tangible fruits of such a conference from within the race, and from without the race it is to be hoped that The White Brother will have arrived at a full appreciation of the fact that the Negro is a MAN, and as such, worthy of the high privileges of American Citizenship as a Tax Payer and Law Abiding Community Builder. GO to Church Sunday, for within the sacred inner court of some evangelical church there is a blessing awaiting you. A mother's prayer of joy which was the inspiration of forces born within the church met you at your birth, and ever since it has been your honest wish that the sacred prayer of the dew whisper in some CHRISTIAN CHURCH may follow after your casket as it is lowered into the Dorm of Mother Earth. These things being true why not pay for your anticipated wishes by going to church, Sunday? The chance is now yours to decide, next Sunday it may have been decided against you. The odds are now in your favor with Eternity as the stake. GO TO CHURCH, SUNDAY! e characters to be guessed as to who they represented Geo. and Martha Wa Hington were Capt. S W. Jones and Mrs. Juno.

Calvary Baptist Notes REV J. W. HAYES, Pastor S. S at 9:30. The Women's Bible Class is growing o rapidly, that the men will have to go busy for the women are ahead in numbers and finance. Each department of the S. S, is wide awake. All of the classes are booster classes. Parents, see that your children are in S. S on time at 9:30 each Sunday morning At the 11.00 o'clock, we had as our distinguished visitor hew, W. S. Woodridge of St. Louis, Mo., as the speaker, scripture lesson read "Heartitudes" Text Matt 6 Ld; subject "Ye Are the Salt of the Earth." The message as delivered by this man of God was one of the Soul. Some of the wonderful thots that struck us so forcefully were our responsibility for saving of the word the comparison between the Christian and salt. 1. The saving quality of salt. 2. The drawing power of salt. 3. The penetrating power of salt. 4. The use of fishness of salt. Each of these points were enlarged upon and made applicable to the Christians' life. We are to penetrate homes where sin is instead of complaining about conditions. We are to go into these homes and help make them what they should be. He urges us to go and if we have power we can cause men to make their lives what they should be. Another splendid that brought out was that salt doesn't make any noise about itself, but is always ready to do what it should do. Salt can't be destroyed. We Christians are inclined to make too much noise and not do enough work. Truly a spiritual message, so wonderfully and beautifully delivered that it will live long in the hearts of the hearers.
